Remember that safety messages by themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention measures. Always use common sense and good judgment.

Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

WILL result in death or serious injury.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

COULD result in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

MAY result in minor or moderate injury. It may also be used to alert against unsafe practices.

This symbol is used to alert the user to useful information about proper operation of the machine.

Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained operators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.

Only allow trained/supervised people to use this machine. When machine is not being used, disconnect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially around children. Make workshop kid proof!

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live electrical components or improperly grounded machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified service personnel to do electrical installation or repair work, and always disconnect power before accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental alertness is required for safe operation of machinery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST. Always disconnect machine from power supply BEFORE making adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.

This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses or a face shield when operating or observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

Model T26470 (Mfd. Since 1/14) -5-

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss of workpiece control.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created while using machinery may cause cancer, birth defects, or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust hazards associated with each workpiece material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to reduce your risk.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.

It will do the job safer and better at the rate for which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during operation greatly increases risk of injury or loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for recommended accessories. Using improper accessories will increase the risk of serious injury.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hearing protection when operating or observing loud machinery. Extended exposure to this noise without hearing protection can cause permanent hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on machinery can become dangerous projectiles upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches, or any other tools on machine. Always verify removal before starting!

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and ensure all moving parts completely stop before walking away. Never leave machine running while unattended.

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use this tool for its intended purpose—do not force it or an attachment to do a job for which it was not designed. Never make unapproved modifications—modifying tool or using it differently than intended may result in malfunction or mechanical failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance instructions and lubrication schedules to keep machine in good working condition. A machine that is improperly maintained could malfunction, leading to serious personal injury or death.

CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine for any condition that may affect safe operation. Immediately repair or replace damaged or mis-adjusted parts before operating machine.

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing and balance at all times when operating machine.

Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions that make workpiece control difficult or increase the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.

Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting cord-connected machines from power, grab and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord may damage the wires inside. Do not handle cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce accidental contact with moving parts or flying debris. Make sure they are properly installed, undamaged, and working correctly.

Additional Safety for Shear Machines

AMPUTATION HAZARD. The shear blades can easily pinch, crush, or amputate fingers or other body parts. Always keep hands, fingers, and other body parts away from the blades during operation.

STABLE FOOTING. This shear requires you to apply moderate force while cutting. Without stable footing, you could slip or fall, which could cause personal injury. Always stand with both feet comfortably on a non-slip surface during operation.

RATED CAPACITY. Only use sheet metal that is within the rated capacity of this shear (refer to the

Machine Data Sheet on Page 4).

SHARP METAL EDGES. Sharp edges on sheet metal workpieces can easily cause deep cuts while handling. Wear leather gloves when handling sheet metal, and always chamfer and debur sharp workpiece edges.

PROPER WORKPIECE MATERIAL. Do not attempt to cut round stock, glass, wood, drywall, backer board, or plywood. Cutting incorrect materials can produce unexpected results, which increases the risk of injury, and may result in damage to the machine.

BLADE CONDITION. Blades that are sharp, undamaged, and properly adjusted will reduce risk of injury and improve cutting results. Always keep blades properly maintained.

BLADE GUARD. The blade guard is designed to reduce risk of amputation. Always keep guard properly attached and in good condition during operation.

SECURE SHEAR BEFORE USE. Before using, fasten shear to a sturdy surface that can withstand the dynamic forces involved in cutting sheet metal. Otherwise, shear may unexpectedly move or fall, causing serious injury or property damage.

BODY POSITION. The forces and body motion required to operate shear can result in operator injury over time if proper technique is not used.

Always keep your body centered with the machine and your back straight when applying pressure against handles.

Like all machinery there is potential danger when operating this machine. Accidents are frequently caused by lack of familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use this machine with respect and caution to decrease the risk of operator injury. If normal safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different.

Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other machinery with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment, or poor work results.

Cleanup

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.

This rust preventative works extremely well, but it will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your machine. The time you spend doing this now will give you a better appreciation for the proper care of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preventative, but the following steps work well in a wide variety of situations. Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions with any cleaning product you use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:

• Disposable rags

• Cleaner/degreaser (WD•40 works well)

• Safety glasses & disposable gloves

• Plastic paint scraper (optional)

Basic steps for removing rust preventative:

1. Put on safety glasses.

2. Coat the rust preventative with a liberal amount of cleaner/degreaser, then let it soak for 5–10 minutes.

3. Wipe off the surfaces. If your cleaner/ degreaser is effective, the rust preventative will wipe off easily. If you have a plastic paint scraper, scrape off as much as you can first, then wipe off the rest with the rag.

4. Repeat Steps 2–3 as necessary until clean, then coat all unpainted surfaces with a quality metal protectant to prevent rust.

NOTICE

Avoid chlorine-based solvents, such as acetone or brake parts cleaner, that may damage painted surfaces.

Site Considerations

Workbench Load

Refer to the Machine Data Sheet for the weight and footprint specifications of your machine.

The gap between the upper and lower blades (as they pass each other) must remain even along the length of blades to produce clean cuts. Initially, this adjustment has been made at the factory.

However, over time and with normal wear, you may need to re-adjust the blade bow.

The blade bow is adjusted by loosening the hex nut and rotating the cap screw shown in

Figure 25 clockwise or counterclockwise.

To adjust the blade bow:

1. Cut a piece of paper with shear.

2. If entire length of paper is cut cleanly, there is no need for adjustment.

— If paper cuts cleanly at ends but not center, rotate cap screw clockwise a time until paper cuts cleanly along the entire length of blades.

Sharpening/

Replacing Blades

Both blades have two cutting edges so that if one cutting edge becomes dull, you can reverse the blade and use the fresh, sharp cutting edge.

After both cutting edges become dull, resharpen the blades on a surface grinder and make sure they remain flat along their entire length. The blade must be replaced once it becomes too thin and the hex bolts that secure it extend beyond the opposite side of the cutting edge. If the blade is nicked, regrind it if possible.

We recommend you keep an extra set of blades on hand to avoid downtime. Order Part No.

Tool Needed Qty

Wrench 13mm ................................................... 1

To remove/re-install either blade:

1. Support blade so it does not fall and remove the four hex bolts that secure it

(see Figures 26 & 27).

2. Before re-installing blade, clean it with mineral spirits, then apply a thin coat of quality metal protectant.

3. Secure blade in place with four hex bolts removed in Step 1.
